digitaldisciplineI don't know how many of you are at all familiar with the Peter Watts case (a handful of you, anyways, because I heard about it from you). This was brought to my attention as a result of that situation, deeply flawed and fucked up as it is (abbreviated backstory at the link below).
I learned something beyond, "Cops and customs officials are fucking assholes" (those of you who are, or were, cops - sorry, a lot of your brothers and sisters in arms are fucksocks on a power trip) - it's that, as I have long suspected, the very justice system is actively fucking over the people by denying them access to due process...
... not as those accused, but as jurors.
But you don't have to take my word for it.
Go. Read. Seethe.
